摘要:Superconducting phases with exotic symmetries that differ from the underlying crystalline lattice are at the focus of superconductivity research. Yet, despite intense interest, detecting the order parameter symmetry and topology remains a major challenge. Real-space imaging near atomic impurities with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been highly successful in revealing nodes of the superconducting gap, in particular in cuprate superconductors, however the order parameter phase winding h...

摘要:During an outbreak, infectious disease can spread among populations through host movement, potentially fueling local outbreaks with their own epidemiological dynamics. However, it is difficult to know how often infections between populations are transmitted by diseased travelers infecting healthy residents when abroad, rather than by diseased residents infecting healthy travelers, who later return home with the new pathogen. In this paper, we introduce a phylogeographic model where pathogens s...

摘要:A recent study has provided the first direct evidence that the greater noctule bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus) preys on and consume nocturnally migrating passerines in flight, using a combination of biologging, acoustic and movement monitoring, and molecular analyses. This result builds upon evidence accumulated over the past two decades. The research began with the first study reporting passerine feathers in the feces of this bat species. Subsequent fecal pellet analyses revealed peaks in the cons...

摘要:Heat stress poses a severe threat to global crop yields and food security. Here, we demonstrate that TaSnRK1 alpha 1, the alpha-catalytic subunit of sucrose non-fermenting-1-related kinase 1, serves as a pivotal regulator that confers thermotolerance and enhances grain weight in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The findings reveal that TaMYB55 directly binds to the TaSnRK1 alpha 1 promoter to activate its expression, which positively contributes to heat tolerance in wheat. An A-to-G substitution ...

摘要:Sensory innervation of developing organs is influenced by molecular cues secreted from surrounding tissues, yet the mechanisms coordinating this tissue-tissue communication are not well understood. Tooth innervation during root development provides a valuable model to investigate how local mesenchymal cues regulate axonal growth under physiological conditions, as innervation begins and progresses alongside tooth root formation. Here we identify the histone demethylase KDM6B, expressed in crani...

摘要:Proton-coupled ion transport is a fundamental chemical process underlying membrane physiology, yet how local electrostatics are transduced into gated Ca2+ permeation remains poorly defined. Here, we combine single-channel planar bilayer electrophysiology, nanodisc-based double electron-electron resonance spectroscopy, atomistic modeling, and a nanodisc nano-delivery strategy that enables direct functional insertion of purified membrane proteins into live mammalian cells. Applying this integrat...

摘要:Estimating the number of insect species on Earth is a daunting challenge. The current consensus estimate-about six million species-is likely far too low, as we will show. Our estimate of the global number of insect species rests on a sample of more than 1,600,000 DNA-barcoded insect specimens representing 53,945 species from 15 core Malaise traps deployed in dry forest, cloud forest, and rainforest ecosystems of the & Aacute;rea de Conservaci & oacute;n Guanacaste (ACG) in Costa Rica. Even thi...
